Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Fixed --enable-systemd on latest Debian stretch. Added xencommons as a systemd.service.

Ah sorry, forgot the reply all!

My personal Gentoo based system is systemd only, testing on Debian lead me to sysv.

There is also a typo in the description for the service, my bad.

Ah, so it is the kernel modules that are not loaded. I can see why that
would be a problem. My experience with systemd is a bit rusty at the
moment. I will find some time to have a look at this next week.
